After hearing this, Emperor Hongyuan glanced at Chu Xuanchen and said: "King Li, because the treasury is empty, I will allocate 200,000 taels of silver from the treasury for this disaster relief. As for the remaining money, we have to make plans among the people. You are
Imperial envoy, it is up to you to raise this money. As for the wise king, he is responsible for other important matters."
Su Ming also said: "Yes, His Highness Prince Li can do more work. I think this fundraising matter can be left to His Highness Prince Li to handle it."
Chu Xuanchen curled his lips coldly. Emperor Hongyuan, this old fox, was really stingy. He was only willing to give him two hundred thousand taels and leave the remaining problems to him.
Raising 1.8 million taels of silver is not easy!
He and Su Ming sang in harmony because they wanted to hand over the heavy responsibility of raising money to him, and let the wise king only be a nominal imperial minister, do the easiest job, and finally gain a good reputation.
But for the sake of the people, even though he knew it was a trap, he still had to dig into it!
He raised his eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to take on this important task. However, it is difficult to raise such a large sum of money. If the Emperor is willing to give me certain powers, I may be able to raise the money from the rich and nobles. Otherwise, I
It’s really not easy to raise 1.8 million taels!”
Emperor Hongyuan also knew that it would be difficult to raise this money.
As long as the floods in the south of the Yangtze River could be solved, he asked Chu Xuanchen to force the rich and nobles.
Anyway, if the time comes to force others, it will be Chu Xuanchen's reputation that will be damaged, and he will also offend this group of nobles.
He said: "Okay, I promise you and allow you to raise money in a certain way. But you can't force people, they must voluntarily contribute money. I give you five days, and you must raise it within five days."
Money, and then rush to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chu Xuanchen cupped his hands.
At this time, King Xian said: "Your Majesty, the five-day period is very urgent. It is not easy to raise 1.8 million taels of silver. During this period, I also want to help raise money, hoping to contribute to the people.
"
Emperor Hongyuan looked at King Xian with admiration and said, "Okay, King Xian has volunteered to serve, and I will agree to it. You can also help raise money!"
Having said this, he looked at Chu Xuanchen, his eyes were cold, and his words were threatening, "As for King Li, since you are an imperial envoy, you will have to take on the heavy responsibility of flood control and disaster relief this time. I entrust the lives of the people to
In your hands, you must not let me down! For the sake of the people, this disaster relief can only succeed and cannot fail. Otherwise, I will take advantage of you!"
Chu Xuanchen sneered. Just now he was curious as to why Emperor Hongyuan appointed him as the imperial envoy.
It turned out that I was waiting for him to take the blame.
He thought that Emperor Hongyuan was doing it for the people of the world, so he dug a hole for him here.
It would be okay if he succeeds in disaster relief.
Once it fails, Emperor Hongyuan will blame all the mistakes on him and let him take the blame!
The emperor had good intentions. Did he really think that he, Chu Xuanchen, would be at his mercy and follow his lead?
When the time comes, we’ll see!

After Chu Xuanchen came to court, he told Yun Ruoyue about the emperor's appointment of him as an imperial envoy.
As soon as Yun Ruoyue heard that he was really going to provide disaster relief, she immediately said: "I will go with you then. I know some methods of controlling floods and plagues, and maybe I can help you."
Chu Xuanchen looked at her distressedly, "No, you are pregnant, how can you be tired from traveling long distances? Just stay at home and I will send someone to protect you. You just need to wait at home and wait for me to come back."
Yun Ruoyue was very determined, "No, this trip is for flood control and disaster relief, and for the people of the world. I obviously have a way to help you but I don't go. Wouldn't it be very difficult for you then?"
